Remember when you first came to the Lord? Remember your enthusiasm? Your commitment? Your love for Him? The promise of this first letter to the church of Ephesians is that if we’re in right relationship with Jesus Christ, then all other relationships will right themselves, too. The secret is turning—maybe it’s turning your back on sin, maybe it’s turning back to God, maybe it’s turning to Christ for salvation for the first time. Come ready to listen and do what God prompts you to do.
Ever wish you could get a personal letter from Jesus? Well, seven churches in Asia did. They came through the apostle John’s pen but were inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Dr. J. Vernon McGee calls these “God’s love letters to churches.” They were an encouragement and sometimes a warning to the first recipients of this message, and they do the same for us who listen to them today.
Some think the book of Revelation is filled with mysteries. And perhaps it is. The word mystery in Scripture means “a sacred secret which has not been revealed before.” Discover what God reveals about the things which are (about the church) and the things which will be (the church raptured and what happens on earth after the church leaves). Past. Present. Future. What a great story!
Someday, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Lord Jesus Himself will descend from heaven and with a voice that sounds like a war trumpet call His church from the earth to be with Him forever. Until that moment, Jesus is before God’s throne as our advocate, our Great High Priest. Come learn more from this passage Dr. McGee called “one of the most thrilling sections in the Word of God.”
Who holds all these titles: Faithful witness, Firstborn of the dead, the Prince of the kings of the earth, He who loved us, He who washed us, He who made us kings and priests. Savior, Bridegroom, the Lover of our souls, the great “Amen.” Can you guess? Come learn more about the Lord Jesus Christ in our study of Revelation. To Him be the glory and the authority unto the ages of the ages.
Want to read and understand the book of Revelation? Then you’ll be blessed! According to what we’ll study in these first verses, “blessed are those who read or teach and those that hear.” A three-fold blessing comes from reading, hearing, and keeping what you learn now from this magnificent book. And to find out what’s so special about the number seven—dive in!
The title of the book of “Revelation” (singular) points to a singular event: The uncovering, unveiling, or revelation of Jesus Christ. We met Jesus in the Gospels when He took on skin, but the Gospels only tell half the story. The book of Revelation completes the picture. Right here at the start, ask the Spirit to teach you what only He can explain.
"The book of Revelation is one of the most organized books in the Bible. It divides itself,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee, our teacher. If you’ve tried to read Revelation but got confused by all the symbols, then come along for a carefully choreographed dance through the pages that describe how God brings everything to completion.
We live in difficult times that seem to have no solutions. But when it looks like the evil in this world is going to win, we can read this last book of the Bible and know everything is going to work out. But isn’t Revelation full of frightening events and pictures? Yes, but we’ll learn in this amazing study why we can put our confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Hint: He wins.) Stay till the end.
The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God’s final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.
Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we’re included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.
Malachi’s discussion of tithing continues as we explore the important connection between giving, fellowship, and worship. Will Israel heed these warnings? Will we?
The people are robbing God of tithes and offerings, so God’s rebuke of Israel (through the prophet Malachi) continues. Join us as Malachi focuses on the uncomfortable subject of giving, and hear more about tithing under the Mosaic legal system and how it relates to us today. The answers may surprise you.
Malachi has spoken in depth about Israel’s social sins; next he addresses their idolatry, fascination with the occult, lying, and idol worship. Dr. McGee calls these “religious sins.” As the story unfolds, God attempts to detour Israel from destruction while the people continue to ask Him sarcastic questions and avoid repentance.
The people of Israel are bored with their ritualistic worship and God is tired of their hypocrisy. As many begin to ask, “Where is the God of justice?” God tells them about two messengers to come. (Hint: Look ahead to 400 years later—the answers are found in all four Gospels.)
In our continuing study of divorce and marriage in Malachi chapter 2, Dr. McGee reminds us that marriage itself is sanctioned by God and is a picture of Christ’s love for us and our response to it. We’ll also hear more about how Israel’s social sins (and that of any nation) are closely linked to their destruction.
What reasons for divorce were permitted under the Mosaic Law? What are the grounds for a Christian to divorce today? The answers are clear as the prophet Malachi speaks directly to Israel and addresses their sin.
The divorce rate continues to run rampant. But according to Dr. J. Vernon McGee, divorce is not the problem, it’s merely a symptom. The real issue is marriage! Israel had the same problems. Malachi addresses the feigned innocence and pretend ignorance of those who defiled their marriages by telling them God no longer received their offerings. Find out how that relates to us as Dr. McGee takes us through an extended look at Malachi 2:10-15.
One of the most frequent and controversial topics pastors and Bible teachers have to address is divorce. The prophet Malachi did, too. Find out what he says to the Israelites who were leaving their wives for foreign girls who worshipped idols and how His message applies to us today.
Whether we are pastors, deacons, or church members, there is certainly a message for each of us in Malachi 2. As we study the life of Levi (and his descendants) we’re reminded that no one can serve God without a reverence for His name.

I don't see The Gospel of John?
wow!!! I am dealing with depression and loneliness at the moment , and this is exactly what I need ! I'm speechless.
I once heard a pastor say with a touch of humor that, if you're down, you should probably stay away from Lamentations and go instead to the Thessalonian books. And, in gaining insight from Dr. McGee into how right on God allowed the people in this Church to be, I can see why! They were super-young believers whose only real struggle was with an accurate understanding of how God would end the present age - other than that, they sound like they are really established in their Faith by God's Grace and Power. They are a serious encouragement to me and my fam in how to live for and in Christ in the midst of a less-than-ideal world. Good stuff, by Mr. J. Vernon McGee! Btw, that same pastor said that, when Christians actually read the book of Lamentations, they should do so only after finishing the Thessalonian epistles. 😆
This book, I admit, is my least favorite book. I'm sure there's some very good insight that Mr. McGee can offer.
Love my faithful servant of the Lord!!!!
